China TV Ratings: Daily Top 100 CCTV & Satellite TV Shows

Get China's daily TV ratings as clean JSON: the top 100 programmes on CCTV and the top 100 on provincial satellite channels (Hunan TV, Jiangsu TV, Zhejiang TV, Dragon TV and more). Data comes from Maoyan (猫眼专业版). No login, no browser.

• Two rankings: CCTV channels (央视) and provincial satellite channels (卫视), 100 programmes each
• Live attention rate (直播关注度) and market share (市场占有率) per programme
• Latest and previous day in one run
• English channel names (Hunan Satellite TV, Dragon (Shanghai) Satellite TV, CCTV-5...)
• Scheduled monitoring: skip rankings you already saved, so a daily schedule builds a clean history

Use cases

• TV drama and variety-show tracking: which Chinese series and shows lead each night, and how they trend over a run.
• Studios, distributors and streaming platforms: benchmark titles and channels; track co-productions on Chinese TV.
• Advertisers and agencies: channel and programme reach for media planning.
• Media research: build a long daily ratings history with one scheduled task.

Example input

{
  "lists": ["cctv", "satellite"],
  "days": ["latest", "previous"],
  "maxPerList": 100,
  "skipUnchanged": true
}

Output

One record per programme:

{
  "type": "tvProgramme",
  "list": "satellite",
  "listName": "卫视",
  "estimatedDate": "2026-10-07",
  "day": "latest",
  "rank": 1,
  "channel": "江苏卫视",
  "channelEnglish": "Jiangsu Satellite TV",
  "programme": "早春晴朗21 22",
  "attentionRatePct": 0.4779,
  "marketSharePct": 2.2209
}

• attentionRatePct is the live attention rate in percent; marketSharePct the programme's share of viewing at the time, in percent.
• Programme names are in Chinese as published; drama entries include the episode numbers shown that day (e.g. 早春晴朗21 22 = episodes 21 and 22).
• estimatedDate is the broadcast day in China time. Maoyan doesn't label the day, so it is inferred (latest = yesterday in China, previous = the day before).

Building a history

Maoyan only offers the two most recent days. Create a schedule in Apify that runs this Actor once a day with Skip rankings already saved turned on, and send the dataset to Google Sheets, BigQuery or your database. Each day adds about 200 records.

Pricing

$0.0005 per programme. Both rankings for one day (200 programmes) cost $0.10; a daily schedule costs about $3 a month.

Notes and limits

• Only the two most recent days are available (see above).
• Rankings come from Maoyan's TV dashboard and may differ from other ratings providers (CSM, Kuyun...).
• Only public data is collected.
